ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 14-4982, APPOINTING CATHERINE BURROUGHS TO THE OVERSIGHT BOARD FOR THE FORMER TEMPLE CITY COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AB x1 26, the redevelopment dissolution bill, required each successor agency City Council Agenda April 1, 2014 Page 3 of 11 to have an oversight board comprised of seven members seated prior to May 1, 2012. It also allows the Mayor of the successor agency to appoint two of the seven oversight board members (i.e., one member representing the City who formed the Redevelopment Agency-City Manager and one member representing the employees of the Agency-Assistant to the City Manager / Economic Development Manager). With the termination of the City Manager’s contract, staff recommends appointing Parks and Recreation Director, Catherine Burroughs to fill the vacancy. While the City currently has an Interim City Manager, Mr. Donald Penman, his time is limited both in the number of hours he can work at the City of Temple City and the time he will serve as Interim City Manager. Recommendation: Adopt Resolution No. 14-4982 appointing Catherine Burroughs to serve as the City’s representative on the Oversight Board of the Former Temple City Community Redevelopment Agency. F.

Recommendation: 1) Review the findings of the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works as enumerated in the attached letter; 2) Receive the Subdivision Improvement Agreement; 3) Approve the final subdivision map for Tract No. 71205 and dedications indicated on the map; 4) Authorize the Interim City Manager to execute the Subdivision Improvement Agreement; and 5) Authorize the City Clerk to certify Parcel Map No. 71205. G. RENEWAL OF THE MUNICIPAL LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES WITH THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT City Council Agenda April 1, 2014 Page 4 of 11 As a contract city, Temple City has traditionally entered into a Municipal Law Enforcement Services Agreement with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. The California Contract Cities Association and representatives of various contract cities have been working on the preparation of the new Municipal Law Enforcement Services Agreement, which would provide for a five-year renewal through June 30, 2019. A uniform agreement is used by the County and all of the contracting cities for these services. Renewal of the Municipal Law Enforcement Services Agreement will ensue that the services provided by the Sheriff’s Department will continue uninterrupted. Recommendation: Approve the renewal of the Municipal Law Enforcement Services Agreement with the County of Los Angeles; and authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement. H. APPROVAL OF CONSULTANT SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR INSTALLATION OF ELECTRONIC CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (ECMS), ECMS ANNUAL SOFTWARE SUPPORT AND DOCUMENT SCANNING SERVICES; AND APPROVE PURCHASE OF A DESKTOP SCANNER AND ELECTRONIC CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM City Council’s approval of the Consultant Services Agreement for an ECMS will further the City Council’s goal of government transparency. Other benefits of implementing an ECMS are: prevention of lost records, ability to manage and locate documents quickly, make images centrally available, and safe keeping of records in case of disaster. Document imaging will be implemented in phases beginning with the City Clerk’s Office (i.e., City Council and City Commission meeting minutes, resolutions and ordinances). Once these public documents have been scanned and labeled, they will be made available to the public on the City’s website. Scanning of other department documents will commence as resources are available. Recommendation: 1) Award Consultant Services Agreements to ECS Imaging, Inc. (ECS), to install a Laserfiche electronic content management system (ECMS), provide training, and provide annual service maintenance and support services for ECMS; 2) Award Consultant Service Agreement to ECS to provide document scanning services; and 3) Authorize the City Manager to execute the Consultant Services Agreements for installation of ECMS, annual support, and scanning City Council Agenda April 1, 2014 Page 5 of 11 services in an amount not to exceed $33,450 (i.e., $6,890 to install an ECMS, provide training, and provide annual service maintenance and support services for ECMS; and $26,560 for the document scanning services). I. ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION 14-4983 ESTABLISHING THE TEMPLE CITY GENERAL PLAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE (GPAC); ADOPTING GPAC BYLAWS; AND APPOINTMENT OF MEMBERS TO THE GPAC The Temple City General Plan Update known as the “Temple City 2050 Mid- Century Plan” is an opportunity to plan the future of Temple City and will set the direction of the City for the next generation. As part of the update process, staff is proposing to establish a GPAC consisting of up to 13 residents to advise staff and our consultants on issues raised during the process, to facilitate public participation, and to make a recommendation to the Planning Commission and City Council on an updated General Plan, a Specific Plan for the intersection of Las Tunas Drive and Rosemead Boulevard, and an updated Zoning Code.

SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 14-987 REPEALING AND ADOPTING A NEW CHAPTER OF THE TEMPLE CITY MUNICIPAL CODE (TCMC) TITLE 3 (PUBLIC SAFETY) CHAPTER 1 (FIRE CODE) ADOPTING BY REFERENCE THE 2014 LOS ANGELES COUNTY FIRE CODE (TITLE 32) AS THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY FIRE CODE Temple City is part of the Consolidated Fire Protection District for Los Angeles County. The District provides fire protection and reviews plans for new construction Citywide. As part of the District, the City of Temple City is required to operate under the Los Angeles County Fire Code, except when making City Council Agenda April 1, 2014 Page 6 of 11 amendments for local conditions. The City Council reviewed this item on February 4, 2014 and introduced the proposed ordinance. There were no comments by the City Council or the members of the public, and no changes to the ordinance were made. Presentation: Planning Manager Recommendation: Waive further reading and adopt Ordinance No. 14-987 repealing existing and adopting a new Chapter to the Temple City Municipal Code Title 3 (Public Safety), Chapter 1 (Fire Code), thereby adopting by reference portions of the 2014 Los Angeles County Fire Code (Title 32) as the City of Temple City 2014 Fire Code. 9. NEW BUSINESS A. APPROVAL OF WATERCOLOR DESIGNS FOR ROSEMEAD BOULEVARD TILE MURALS Tile mural designs for Rosemead Boulevard directory monuments are fine art representations illustrating five iconic scenes of life in Temple City. Entitled, “Temple City Today,” this mural collection portrays the community’s celebratory traditions and cultural values as experienced by families and immigrant residents. The final watercolor designs incorporate the Commission’s recommended modifications to ensure each mural narrative is an accurate interpretation of community life, and adheres to artistic best practices. Presentation: Assistant to the City Manager / Economic Development Manager Recommendation: Approve artist Carole Choucair Oueijan’s final watercolor designs for five tile murals to be installed on Rosemead Boulevard directory monuments, thereby initiating the fabrication process. B. INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 14-992 AMENDING THE TEMPLE CITY ZONING CODE AND DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN TO REQUIRE A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR MEDICAL OFFICES AND SIMILAR USES This code amendment is intended to be an interim option that will regulate City Council Agenda April 1, 2014 Page 7 of 11 massage businesses in accordance with SB 731 until a comprehensive massage and “Day Spa” ordinance is adopted. The proposed ordinance should also have little impact to the medical community. Since the beginning of the year we have had only one business license application for a medical office. Presentation: Planning Manager Recommendation: 1) Introduce Ordinance No. 14-992 for first reading by title only amending the Temple City Zoning Code and the Downtown Specific Plan to require a Conditional Use Permit for Medical Offices and similar uses; 2) Waive further reading of Ordinance No. 14-992; and 3) Schedule the second reading of the ordinance for April 15, 2014. C. PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) FUNDS FOR THE HOUSING REHABILITATION LOAN PROGRAM, AND ASBESTOS TESTING AND ABATEMENT PROGRAM FOR FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2013-14 The City Council is recommended to approve the increased allocations for the Housing Rehabilitation Loan and Asbestos Testing and Abatement Programs for FY 2013-14. Any CDBG funds not used during FY 2013-14 will go back into the City’s unallocated CDBG fund balance and would be eligible for reallocation back into the Housing Rehabilitation Loan and Asbestos Testing and Abatement Programs for FY 2014-15. Presentation: Associate Planner Recommendation: 1) Hold a public hearing to consider proposed amendments to the City’s CDBG-funded Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program and Asbestos Testing and Abatement Program for FY 2013-14; and 2) Consider appropriating CDBG funds programmed for next fiscal year (FY 2014-15) to the current fiscal year (FY 2013-14) programs: increasing the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program by $150,000 and increasing the Asbestos Testing and Abatement Program by $50,000. D. ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 14-4984 CONFIRMING THE MAYOR’S APPOINTMENTS OF CITY COUNCILMEMBERS AS DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES TO OTHER AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS City Council Agenda April 1, 2014 Page 8 of 11 Each year the City Council reorganizes, and with City Council input, the Mayor reviews and selects representative delegates and alternates to other governmental agencies and/or organizations. Councilmembers serving as the delegate to these governmental agencies provide recommendations regarding issues that may affect cities in the Los Angeles County. Delegates to these governmental agencies and/or organizations also have the official voting responsibilities. Presentation: City Clerk Recommendation: Adopt Resolution No. 14-4984 confirming Mayor’s appointments to City Council committees, agencies and organizations E. INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 14-991 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY ADOPTING THE REORGANIZED CITY OF TEMPLE CITY MUNICIPAL CODE AND ENACTING A NEW CODE NUMBERING SYSTEM FOR THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF CITY OF TEMPLE CITY With the recent increase of ordinance adoptions, it has become evident that the current method of organizing the Municipal Code is antiquated, difficult and cumbersome for staff to add new sections to related subjects within a Chapter’s Article(s). Staff has already had to present ordinances to City Council this past year to amend duplicate Section numbering. The new proposal would allow for an expandable numbering system (e.g., Sterling’s standard x-y-z numbering system) which better accommodates future expansion of the municipal code. Presentation: City Clerk Recommendation: 1) Introduce Ordinance No. 14-991 (Attachment “A”), adopting the reorganized City of Temple City Municipal Code (Municipal Code) and enacting a new numbering system for the Municipal Code; 2) Waive further reading of Ordinance No. 14-991; and 3) Schedule the second reading of Ordinance No. 14-991 for April 15, 2014. 10.
